According to Chevrolet by the numbers(1970-1975),it is a 4 bolt main,LS-6. It says there were///-(10)- built with suffix code-(CPY) and///-(4)-built with suffix code-(CPZ).Both these are listed as turbo-400 chevelle engines. Also listed is suffix code-(CPP) chevelle 4-speed with (no) numbers listed as to how many were built....425hp Corvette engines listed with aluminum heads/solid lifters-(CPW)4speed---(CPX)automatic........All LS-5 engines are listed as 365hp engines......

I bought mine at Barnes & Noble bookstore in Springfield,Mo. You can look online at amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com (save fuel and time). 1970-75 Chevrolet by the numbers,by Alan L. Colvin......Also a--(1955-59)---(1960-64)---(1965-69) book by same name & author....It is a pretty handy book to look up part numbers..or information in general..
